lyrics

Monday nights at seven thirty on channel 4
Yeah that’s me an inch from the TV
On the living room floor
And for a half hour I sat still
I had a lot of information to distill
All that stuff between boys and girls
And how to laugh your way through this cruel world

The Monkees came into your home
They didn’t wait for an invitation
Your parents wouldn’t understand
The presence of a rockin’ band
The Monkees came into your home

Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davy Jones
They may be coming to your town
And out again like four cyclones
But on the tube on Monday nights
They had their real power shining bright
Through the magic of a broadcast lens
And all the lonely children of the world had friends

The Monkees came into your home
They didn’t wait for an invitation
The Beatles lived in castles and
The Stones got into hassles
But the Monkees came into your home

Yeah I got my Clarksville reservation
Ooh I’m a member of Monkee Nation
And it’s pulsing through my soul

The Monkees came into your home
They didn’t ask for no invitation
They didn’t even have a key
They’d bust right through your ADT
The Monkees came into your home

The Monkees came into your home
They didn’t wait for a revolution
I hope it meant a lot to you
They probably had other things to do
But the Monkees came into your home
They had a more subversive sound
Than the Velvet Underground
The Monkees came into your home

Putting on a private show
And no one let your parents know
The Monkees came into your home
